Through the magic of metaphor, Sir Isaac Newton, Opie Taylor, Martha Steward, Johnny Appleseed and "Lord" de Gouberville, are walking through a small orchard.

Newton sees an apply fall from a tree. He discovers gravity.

Opie sees an apple fall from a tree. He picks it up, wipes it on his shirt, and eats it.

Martha Stewart sees an apple fall from a tree. She picks it up, takes it home, peels it, cores it, and bakes it with brown sugar and cinnamon and a pat of butter. 350 degrees f. 20-25 minutes. More or less.

Johnny Appleseed sees an apple fall from a tree. He picks it up, removes the sees, and plants apple trees.

"Lord" deGouberville sees an apple fall from a tree. He picks it up, takes it home, and invents Calvados.

5 People. 5 Apples. 5 Concepts. 5 Results. Each different. Each essential.What about Slim?Slim is sitting apart from from the proceedings and observing while snacking on some Blue Diamond Smokehouse Almonds and sipping an Extra-Dry Beefeater Martini on the rocks--hat-trick with the olives. As a non-participant, he is in the position to be an objective observer.Slim's only problem is how to deliver the message. Well, Slim has but two skills: an analytical mind and the ability to speak in metaphors. He quietly analyses what he sees. Now all he must do is to come up with a metaphor to explain it.Warmest regards,SlimSlimfairview@yahoo.comAny references to products or services are at my discretion and no offer of remuneration or compensations was solicited, offered, or accepted.Also, they are for information purposes and do not constitute an endorsement.You’ve been informed.

About Me

Armed only with an analytical mind and the ability to speak in metaphors, I attempt to explain the events of the day as I view them through the magic glasses my parents gave me over 50 years ago. Regards, Slim
